A player raises from the hijack to 16,000, the player on the button moves all in for 169,000, and Chris Dowling thinks for a while before he calls all in from the small blind for 122,000.

The hijack quickly calls, covering both players, and all three turn over their cards.

Hijack:  Spade QDiamond Q
Button:  Diamond AClub J
Chris Dowling:  Spade KDiamond K

The board comes Spade 9Spade 5Diamond 5Heart 5Spade 3, and Dowling wins the main pot with the higher full house, fives full of kings, to triple up in chips.

The hijack wins the much smaller side pot worth 94,000 to eliminate the player on the button and reduce his losses in the hand.

Chris Dowling  –  382,000  (48 bb)
